Paullina Simons Interview on HenryCavill.org

Check out this awesome interview HenryCavill.org did with Paullina Simons, regarding The Bronze Horseman series.  They ask her about how she feels about Henry Cavill playing Shura...and her answer just might surprise you.

Ya know...I truly don't know how to feel about that possibility.  I don't hate it; I don't love it.  I loved Henry Cavill in both The Tudors and The Count of Monte Cristo.  I guess I'd say I'm not pushing for it...but I'm fine with it, too.
Neutral, party of 1?

Bellagrand Teaser

SO excited.  Paullina Simons posted a teaser of her new novel, Bellagrand, on her facebook page this AM.

Bellagrand is the sequel to Children of Liberty...and gives us "the rest of the story" about Gina and Harold Barrington!  Haven't read Children of Liberty yet?  You can check out my synopsis here.  (MAJOR spoilers, so beware!)

Tatiana's Table Baking Day

LOOK HOW CUTE Tonya and Donna are on their (first annual??) Tatiana's Table Baking Day!  I love it!!!  And let me tell you...  I am lucky enough to have tasted Tonya's AMAZING cupcakes; these two are SERIOUS bakers!

History Learning Site: The Siege of Leningrad

Thanks so much to Clay, my friend and fellow Bronze Horseman fan, for telling me about this informational page about the Siege of Leningrad.  It's a really compelling read.

"Dogs and cats were hunted for food and stories emerged of cannibalism - freshly buried bodies were, according to some, dug up in the night."

Absolutely chilling.

Pretty Rose Tatiana Dress

Julia sent me this link to ASOS where you can buy a pretty rose dress like Tatiana's (although I'm assuming hers didn't have such a plunging neckline.  LOL!)

This reminds me of the dress Paullina Simons shared on her Facebook page a while back.  Nice find, Julia!
